UN calls for “action on all fronts to end scourge” of human trafficking

VIENNA, Austria, CMC – A week after the United States assailed some Caribbean Community (CARICOM) governments for not doing enough in addressing human trafficking, the United Nations has called for “action on all fronts to end the scourge”.
UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson is urging all partners, governments, the private sector, civil society, the media, and ordinary citizens to help fight human trafficking.
“We need everyone’s help to fight human trafficking,” Eliasson told the 13th Alliance Against Trafficking in Persons High-level Event, hosted here by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
